This was a bit of an exercise with figure drawing. I didn't want this to be photo-like, I really wanted it to be obvious that it was a drawing, and meant to be seen as such. I don't really know how to explain what I mean there. My friend Amanda posed for this piece, (ALL of the poses) and NO, we didn't do anything dangerous like HANGING her. We did that pose in two separate sittings, catching her from the waist-up while she was standing, and having her dangle her feet from a chair for below the waist. No, I have no underlying intentions of killing my best friend or any other such ideas, and she was thrilledto pose as my own personal dead body to move around. *lol* The piece is titled "WITHIN", after a poem I wrote. a stanza or two of which is worked into the ink.

Favorite Quote:
Outside the station, she stands with her child on the side of the street, taking pictures of cars.

You think she's insane. Until, one day, you notice that she's taking pictures of the license plates of the cars her child gets into.

Because you look. But you do not see.

And she walks out the shop with bags full of cat food. You think she's some crazy cat lady until you find out, she has no cats.

Because you eat. But you do not taste.

It's been a while since their last album but he assures you, he's doing just fine these days, white flecks in his nostrils. Then he asks you if he can spend the night on your couch, even though it stinks.

Because you sniff. But you do not smell.

And they say "Just OK" when you ask them how school was. Then you wonder what they're hiding until you find their diary and the last entry reads "I wish you'd give me some privacy."

Because you listen. But you do not hear.

And they've got a bruise over their eye and you run the tips of your fingers over it and ask them how it happened. You believe them. Until it happens again.

Because you touch. But you do not feel.

And they walk past you everyday, one million stories, each waiting to be told. Waiting for you to ask.

Because you live. But very few, love.

I'm sorry for the lousy photographs, and thankyou for the compliment. Actually, one of my instructors suggested I include this in a portfolio review for college, so I need to get a better jpeg of it anyway. (The portfolio is to be submitted digitally.) I have a horrible camera, hoping to get a new one and take some new photos this Christmas. =D
